$NEAR is the fundamental favorites for this cycle.

But there’s an important difference between having a strong fundamental thesis and what the technical structure is telling us right now.

Even if you believe Bitcoin is a scarce asset worth holding, that doesn’t mean you have to hold your entire position through every move. The same applies to gold or any other asset in a portfolio.

Long-term conviction doesn’t mean ignoring short-term risk.

Looking at the $NEAR chart, it feels like the narrative and momentum are starting to cool off after the strong move higher. That makes a correction increasingly likely.

Given the strength of the recent impulse, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 30–40% correction across the market.

These are the levels I’m watching:

🎯 $4.30–$4.35 → Mainly looking for bounce setups or short-term day trades.

🎯 $3.90 → First major area where I’d consider adding back to my portfolio.

🎯 $3.40 → A level where I’d be comfortable scaling in more aggressively. Even a move here would still be a fairly normal correction after such a strong rally.

The bearish divergence was quietly warning that short-term momentum was getting overheated.

I’m still bullish on $NEAR fundamentally. I’m just looking to manage risk and let the market come to me rather than chasing the move higher.
